The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I don't understand all this drama.

Susan left Warren because Warren wasn't a good husband. Yes, he provided resources, but was an absent father and husband. The kids said it. Susan said it.

So, after the kids were grown Susan left. But said she'd always be available to Warren for whatever.

Now remember, Warren is utterly incompetent around the house.

Enter Astrid. She takes care of the house and Warren while getting access to his resources. She knew what she was signing up for.

Is the Susan-Warren-Astrid thing unconventional? Sure. But it's not so outrageous it deserves it's own reality show.
